写得太好了!逻辑非常清晰:欧亚大陆的居民因优厚的自然环境而率先发明了农业,进而有富余的食物提供给不从事农业生产的专业人士,如工匠、士兵和官僚,还在与家畜的接触中拥有了对诸多病菌的免疫力,最终让欧亚大陆在面对美洲、大洋洲和撒哈拉以南的非洲的原住民时无往不利,让从欧亚大陆发源的文明与其后裔成为了当今世界的主宰。所谓老天爷赏饭吃,就是如此了。#推荐给所有地理爱好者

评分自己看了一半,难以遏制的在心里批驳作者的各种佐证,感觉自己不适合看这种半科普性质的书,太累。。。虽然最后还是用开车的时间在Audible上听完了。。。

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, "Guns, Germs, and Steel" is a brilliant work answering the question of why the peoples of certain continents succeeded in invading other continents and conquering or displacing their peoples. This edition includes a new chapter on Japan and all-new illustrations drawn from the television series. Until around 11,000 BC, all peoples were still Stone Age hunter/gatherers. At that point, a great divide occurred in the rates that human societies evolved. In Eurasia, parts of the Americas, and Africa, farming became the prevailing mode of existence when indigenous wild plants and animals were domesticated by prehistoric planters and herders. As Jared Diamond vividly reveals, the very people who gained a head start in producing food would collide with preliterate cultures, shaping the modern world through conquest, displacement, and genocide.The paths that lead from scattered centers of food to broad bands of settlement had a great deal to do with climate and geography. But how did differences in societies arise? Why weren't native Australians, Americans, or Africans the ones to colonize Europe? Diamond dismantles pernicious racial theories tracing societal differences to biological differences. He assembles convincing evidence linking germs to domestication of animals, germs that Eurasians then spread in epidemic proportions in their voyages of discovery. In its sweep, "Guns, Germs and Steel" encompasses the rise of agriculture, technology, writing, government, and religion, providing a unifying theory of human history as intriguing as the histories of dinosaurs and glaciers.
作为后人,我们总是免不了要对发生过的历史作些“如果”的想象,特别是当这种历史对我们是带有屈辱色彩的历史。比如中国人就常想“如果戊戌变法成功了中国如何”,“没有文化大革命又如何”,同时也会有大量“为什么这样,为什么那样”的问题,如“为什么日本能维新成功,...
评分【读品】李牧之 如何理解人类的发展史?在挖掘冷冰冰的事实的时候,人们从制度转型的角度来试图解释为什么会这样。而政治、经济与社会则是理解制度转型最重要的三个方面。工业革命之前的历史书写多以政治、军事史为主线,《罗马帝国衰亡史》的作者吉本就自称"史书的主题是公共...
评分0. 发现书看一半时往往更愿意写评论。常常看完了之后当初的兴奋也没了。 所以,这本砖头般厚实的书今天刚刚K完四分之一,因为兴奋莫名,所以先来说几句。要是看完了还有要讲的,再来添吧。。。 这本书已经流行了好一阵子了,可是这个书名老是让我想起那个叫“Gun & Roses” ...
